Celtics guard charged with aggravated battery
October 21, 2005
CHICAGO (AP) -- Boston Celtics guard Tony Allen has been charged with aggravated battery stemming from a fight that escalated into a shooting outside a West Loop diner two months ago.
Allen was to appear Friday at a bond hearing on the felony charge. Allen's attorney, Michael Zaslavsky, said the player is not considered a suspect in the shooting.
Zaslavsky said Allen has been in jail since Wednesday, when he voluntarily went to a Chicago police station to meet with investigators.

One man was shot in the left arm and left side Aug. 29 when gunfire erupted during an early-morning fight at the White Palace Grill, police said.
Allen was drafted by the Celtics 25th overall in 2004 and started 34 games as a rookie. He averaged 6.4 points and 2.9 rebounds.
Allen, who had a small piece of cartilage removed from his right knee in September, has not played in the preseason.
